I will definitely be praying for your friend to be free from pain and be able to be really with her family as she goes through her last days here on earth. I will also be praying for her family as it will be so difficult with one so young, even when she knows Mommy is with Jesus in heaven and she will see her again someday. God bless you as you are an encouragement to her and her family.
